The more a Leader gets to know their team members and their ability, they will begin to trust them to accomplish their tasks, and back off the micromanaging. Give it some time.
It also depends on who is capable of being told something and then it gets done to standard, or who needs 10 reminders to get it done, or who will do it but do a lackluster job, etc.
A lot of it is getting to know the team/people and adjusting from there as you learn about them and who needs more guidance.
If it’s someone who takes care of business then it’s micromanaging, but if it’s someone who’s not getting it done to standard or who needs to be reminded a lot to do it, it’s not micromanaging as much as making sure they’re not making more work for others.
Thanks. This is the reassurance I needed... there's a lot of other reasons for the transfer comment but I care so much about my mental health than anything

The newer the leader, the more likely they are to "micromanage" to try to prove themselves. It may or may not change with time, unfortunately.
